as they consider this idea to be virtually hate speech.
Now a new study on the decline of giant herbivorous mammals – megaherbivores – points a finger at humanity.
Fossils show that, 50,000 years ago, there were at least 57 species of megaherbivore. Today, just 11 remain. They include notable behemoths such as hippos and giraffes, as well as several species of rhino and elephant, many of which continue to dwindle.
Such a dramatic decline, researchers say, is inconsistent with climate change as the sole cause.

So climate change has been going on for 50,000 years! I thought so.
With humanities increased production of CO2 has only occurred for a couple of hundred years, that blows that myth.
